If you were one of the 100 or so people at The Fixin' To in St. John's this past Thursday, I think you just saw a little piece of history. Not just because Krist Novacelic, legendary bassist of Nirvana, was playing within arms reach of us mere mortals. Not just because Krist was hanging out in the venue with everyone all night. But because the band he played in, Giants in the Trees, gave a stirring performance in what was their first public show ever. The band is a songwriting partnership between lead singer, and buddy of ours, Jillian Raye and Krist. Jillian gave a dazzling performance and had the crowd mesmerized. We are really excited to see where this project goes. Krist is a funny dude, incredibly easy going and supportive. Cheers to the whole band. Henceforth, let 2017 be known as "the year that we got the dude from Nirvana a gig in Portland". We are sure they would have been lost without us ;)
Keep your eyes peeled for more shows from Luke Messimer. He's a skilled song crafter and a busy musician, in multiple bands of different styles. He and his band gave a top shelf performance at the top of the bill.
Next up for us:
- We are opening for Amigo the Devil at The Hawthorne Theatre Lounge on Wednesday 2/22. We are the first opener followed by Adrian H and the Wounds. It's worth mentioning that the great Lucero will be playing the big room at the Theatre that night as well. Check out our calendar for a link to tickets.
- I (Brian) will be playing a solo acoustic in a songwriter-in-the-round show at The Firkin Tavern on 2/16.
- And you can catch the both of us up in Vancouver at the lovely Loowit Brewing Company for free on Saturday 2/18.
Getting very excited for the tour. More dates will be announced next week.
